I was very busy last week, making 3 new garments! This time I'll show you a blouse and a skirt, that I made as an outfit.

The blouse is a variation on the BWOF 1/2008, #108 pattern. It's made of gorgeous viscose with tiny black polkadots. The pattern is altered, as you might have notices - I changed the front panel, by making an oblique stitch across the bust. Also, I gathered a bit the top panel. The sleeves have been changed a bit, too.

The skirt's made of soft linen, combined with organza bands. The pattern comes from BWOF 2/2007, #110. The transparent bands give the skirt a special charm, that I liked more than expected.

I have to admit that the inspiration for the skirt comes from Claudine, who has the most courageous, funky and creative ideas for her creations. Her aesthetics is very specific, it's a bit eccentric and very original, which I like a lot. You can see the very models that inspired me here, here and here.
